CAIA is a creative monolith of artistic delivery fueled by future movements, but based in the foundations of design.
(Basically, I'm a generalist that goes with the flow.)
After 6 years in industry and 4 years designing, I’ve solved tons of creative problems. From video games publishing, to startups, all the way to local coffee houses – I thrive on bringing ideas to life.
